Comments: Home prices sure have risen since our previous trip. This place sure has more than enough civic-minded folks everywhere. On the main roads traffic is busy. Some buddies and I came through here not long ago. There seem to be stormy weather towards evening. For a special time, make a point of visiting Hamilton County Museum. You won't be disappointed.
